cutty Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 I hope i don't make this sound too confusing but, i wanted to know what i will need to have my radio to stay on when the key is turned off. Like how some of the newer Gm cars keep the radio on when the igintion is turned off. I want to know what all i will need and how i would go about doing this. I tried searching but couldn't find anything. so any and all help would be great Quote
Psych0matt Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 wire your remote wire on the stereo to the constant 12v, not the ignition 12v Quote
cutty Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 hmm.. would i have to splice it since the remote wire is going to my amp Quote
Psych0matt Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 you would have both your + constant and + remote (on the stereo) going to the +constant from the harness. Quote
kuntzie Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 wrong... i think he wants it to stay on until the doors are open ... is that correct? Quote
Psych0matt Posted November 7, 2006 Report Posted November 7, 2006 wrong... i think he wants it to stay on until the doors are open ... is that correct? well that's what i figured, but this would be the simplest way. run a switch to the door via a relay Quote
cutty Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 wrong... i think he wants it to stay on until the doors are open ... is that correct? yes thats right, sorry i forgot to mention that Quote
cutty Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 i think i read somewhere before i can just get something like a certain box or something from another gm car and hook it up that way. Quote
cutty Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Posted November 7, 2006 not totally sure if what i read was right or not. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 I think you can get an RAP (Retained Accessory Power) module from a miniquad Camaro or Firebird of the same era. Aftermarket modules probably also exist. Many alarms also have RAP built-in, that's what I use in my 89. The DEI Viper alarm has RAP built-in, although unlike factory RAP that shuts the radio off when the door is opened, the DEI RAP keeps the radio on until the door is opened then shut. Quote

weisinator Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 http://www.the12volt.com/relays/page5.asp#drto You can get relays from parts express for under two bucks a piece. Quote
97CuttySupSL Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 wire your remote wire on the stereo to the constant 12v, not the ignition 12v tap it off power locks if you have them Quote
